Tobe's Training Log: The Hunt for a 560kg Total

[Voxel]

@tobe

Have to integrate Jumps and Throws in the Bench days. Perhaps I can do mobility work afterwards since I train with a coworker.

Why does the presence of your coworker inhibit your warmup?

@tobe

Some of them were a bit grindy at the end. Should I probably lower to 60 to get 10 solid reps at each set?

Depends, why do you do them? Why do you do them strict? I barbell row solely for my deadlift and then I’ll use body english to overload my lats on the eccentric. If my motivation for their inclusion is anything else, I personally am doing another row variation.

Low Bar intermission

Do unilateral work, man. This is your stimulus addiction having you chase the experience of heavy, I’m sure of it.

@tobe

Not sure what to do here since the third cycle will be messed up.

Disruption Rule of Thumb

Wow, that’s pretty exact calculations of strength loss. In reality, unless you have a prolonged stretch of inactivity, it’s most likely just your body and mind adapting to lifting heavy barbell weights again and not real muscle loss. If it were me, I wouldn’t retest the TMs but might start back on the 5’s week of whatever template I was running if I felt the need to build back up my mental and physical readiness for the weeks ahead. If I’m coming back from vacation, it’s just mentally easier…
